Why buy new?

New home builders design homes for the way you live today. Open floor plans mean that kitchens are integrated with the main living areas of the home- keeping families connected. Master suites provide a quiet oasis. Building a new home ensures that home offices no longer need to be created from a converted bedroom. New homes can offer bonus and flex rooms allowing you to customize your space to fit your specific needs. Bedrooms other than the master can be connected to a bathroom for guest privacy or family convenience.

Inside Out All Over

The trend of blurring inside to outside is strong across the nation, and not just in warm climates.

Island Living

Kitchen islands are getting bigger and harder working with more storage space that allows for fewer upper kitchen cabinets and more windows.

Master Plan

There is an uptick in multi-gen households. Many bedrooms are now designed as suites and it is desirable to orient them so they all have a view. Some will also include separate access to the outside or garage.

Flex Appeal

Make sure great rooms and other common areas can be made customizable and flexible to live the way your family does.

Looking Up

Attention to ceiling detail is important. Varied heights and ceiling materials create more definition in plans with more open spaces.

It's Organic

Natural materials such as coral, driftwood, and pebbles bring warm and texture to modern design.

Off the Books

Digital reading is leading to bookcases going away. While books warm a room like nothing else designers are answering this need by creating displays for personal items. Wall niches and glass cabinets help create this space.

Main Squeeze

Increased density and smaller lots are common. Floor plan layout and orientation of views toward the rear and front of the home rather than the sides is important.

Outside Job

Well-designed outdoor spaces are a common client request. “Bringing the outside in” is a concept that is desired in all climates.

Environmental Construction Sustainable Methods

Features that set our developments apart are less pavement, more green space to the rear portions of the lots, and practices that will handle storm water in ways that are friendly to people and their environment.

Homes Define Us

They are revelations of our inner artist, our personalities, our styles. They need builders who are dreamers, but who are anchored in reality. Builders who understand the needs of the individual.
